The Best Camera / EDC / Travel Sling in the WORLD?! Wandrd vs Peak Design

[@randyk1919]

Great comparison! One thing I almost never see in reviews of the Peak Design 6L, though, is the total capacity when loading the camera/lens vertically and using two internal dividers (you use just one, here). I can easily carry my Fuji XT5 with two zooms (70-230 and 16-55) PLUS a prime by using this two-divider vertical loading configuration, and even 4 lenses (via origami shelf) if only one lens is a zoom.

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks! oh yes that would have been good to include the other divider! ill consider for my next vid with the PD!

[@robbycastillo7862]

Thank you for this comparison! Wandrd it is for me.

[@DesmondCheng]

no prob, hope u enjoy it!

[@WargodFilms]

Wandrd for me i like the whole aesthetic of it and the fact it doesn't look like a camera bag you can do a shoot and match your fit

[@DesmondCheng]

agreed!

[@MrJerSep]

Best comparison I’ve seen. Thank you 😊

[@DesmondCheng]

Thanks! stay tuned in for more comparisons!

[@YanFries]

Sold my peak for the wandrd, the tripod/gimbal/bottle holder is a nice addition

[@DesmondCheng]

nice!! yeah been loving it =)

[@reiszrie]

i did the same as well, the ability to carry a laptop is what sold me

[@stefansipl6736]

Really a gerat video. More helpful than any other review so far.

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks!

[@JustAGuyWalking17]

That fujifilm pack out is what sold me on the wandrd as thst is exactly what i was going to be carrying! Thank you very much

[@DesmondCheng]

No problem! Gives me an idea for maybe some more future videos! Just Fujifilm specific pack outs of bags!

[@JustAGuyWalking17]

@@DesmondCheng That would be great to see!

[@chuchonmc]

To me, as a bag lover, I think both look really well but for different purposes. I wouldn't take the Wandrd to a wedding, the looks are so much urban and alternative, whereas the Peak Design is so elegant that for many social events would be much better. My main bag until now has been the Wandrd 41L + Peak Design camera cubes 😂... I love Peak Design, but Wandrd external material is much durable. I will buy the Wandrd sling, but if in the future I work more in social poshy/classy events, Peak Design would bring more convenient looks.

[@DesmondCheng]

great insight! another intersting bag that im getting later this week is the Grams28 172 camera bag. its a pretty sexy bag!

[@sternschnupper]

everyone has their own way of usecases, and esthetics of course - for me either of those bags are too small for a wedding anyway (as a pro photographer. i use a thinktank retrospective, that surprisingly fits 2xA7III + 55/1.8 + 85/1.8 + 25/2 + voigtlänger 15/4.5 + holdfast moneymaker + godox tt350 + A7s backup body). also i think in all black the wandrd bags do hit the pro-photographer esthetics well enough to fit a wedding. but of course, totally depends on personal style.

[@DesmondCheng]

@@sternschnupper nice i have a knock off retrospective, works great!

[@jw_25]

I'm glad we have more options.

[@DesmondCheng]

yup!

[@SchemberBrandsrud]

My mom bought one kislux and she loves it. It had been there for over 10 years when she went out with it.

[@MulliganAl]

I've had both and sold the PD Sling, I love the Wandrd gear. The Wandrd is so versatile and is great for travel. Not only does the Wandrd have the main camera compartment and front compartments, the compartment in the back (if you don't carry an iPad) can be used for cash, passport and other important items when traveling and they're safely stored against your back. I also found it much easier to get my gear out of the Wandrd sling, and it's very comfortable. When I travel I often need to carry a raincoat, umbrella, water bottle, and it was easy to hook them onto the Wandrd. I also have the Wandrd 11L backpack (had the 21L for years but sold it) which is a great smaller packs, it's been to many countries with me as well. Sometimes I also hook one of the small Wandrd Tech Bags onto my Rogue to hold my cables and power bank.

[@DesmondCheng]

i just ordered the new wandrd stratus!

[@henrixen2744]

Best choice 👌

[@sSdestinySs]

I had a minor zipper issue with my Wandrd Prvke (after 3-4 years) and they gave me credit to get a replacement one so I ended up getting the upgraded version. No hassle or anything! Wandrd is definitely my choice for all things bags!

[@DesmondCheng]

awesome to hear!!!

[@mannyq.manuel6124]

Wandrd is what I bought. Same color. I love PD, but when it comes to these bags, Wandrd won hands down. The stylishness and praise I've gotten from this bag is just phenomenal. Even when it sits on my couch at home, I can't stop staring at it. It's an awesome bag to behold, an icebreaker, I'd say.

[@DesmondCheng]

yeah i recently just got the wandrd 30L backpack. love it!

[@ronphoto3234]

Outstanding video, it was a joy to watch. Thank you very much!

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks!!! no prob at all, more videos to come!!

[@simonshadowshow]

Hi, this video was just what I was looking for ! searching for a bag for my x-t5. One question , Im 6'2 and living in the UK its mainly jacket weather all year round ! . I prefer my bags low slung , does the Wandrd not go as low as the PD ?many thanks

[@Kirostory]

3:46-3:47 , you mentioned Wandrd but holding onto the PD, not sure if that’s a error or I’m missing something. Sorry

[@DesmondCheng]

oh yeah sorry meant to say PD!

[@marknathan7744]

How did you find the peak designs weatherproofing does the inside of the bag get damp when you poured water on it. i have read a few posts where the peak slings get wet inside when out in showers foe an hour or so.

[@jayog4576]

Peak Design is the best camera sling I've seen in all. I'm ordering the 3L ash gray for my Canon M50 (Mark II) with 4 primes but I'll only be carrying 2 at a time.

[@DesmondCheng]

Nice!

[@MarttiSuomivuori]

I have them both. Wandrd is more elegant and practical but the Rotolight Neo does not fit in there. My experience with standing alone is different. The Peak Design rolls over once you let go of it. I think it is good to keep changing bags. That way you keep track on what you've got and where it is at the moment.

[@Richard_Lutz]

What would you reccomend for two weeks in Italy? I'm trying to decide between the 6l and 10l PD sling? The 6l barely fits (almost) everything while the 10l doesn't have a problem. It's just bigger. I'm trying to figure out what would be better for all day use.

[@MusseAmble]

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the kislux as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

[@grahamjones7070]

Hi,great review. Can i just ask is that the yellow or orange in the wandrd sling? I like that colour you had but being colour blind can't see the shade. Subscribed by the way👍

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks! this is the yellow colour!

[@nickandrievsky5705]

Interesting, PD looks miles ahead for my needs

[@pjdexter168]

Wandrd for sure, I need it for swapping prime lenses quickly at events, and having to dig down to a second layer on the Peak seems like a pain

[@DesmondCheng]

i love wandrd

[@fromia1]

Now there is an outdoor version 7L from PD. Definitely interested in knowing if the Wandrd is still superior.

[@DesmondCheng]

when i get my hands on one ill let u know!

[@SoyJoseMora]

Great video! Would you choose Wandrd over Bellroy Venture?

[@DesmondCheng]

thanks! hmm good idea for another video later! i have both! if i want to be simple, then the bellroy... but most days ill choose wandrd!

Can you store the Sony body with the 24-70mm attached vertically in the Wandrd?

negative!

[@robinng]

i own the PD sling. i regert bought the charcoal color. easy to get dirty. I think my next sling will go for Wandrd. but i might want bigger one 10L

i still lov emy wandrd! sometimes if i need more space i go for the billingham hadley small though

[@aliasangelalias]

Can I put a EOS R6mk2 mounted with the RF24-105 f/2.8L USM Z lens on to the WANDRD 6L bag? With 3 batteries, card reader, and charger in one bag? AND have you try TENBA Axis v2 6L?

can u tell me what the length of that combo is? ill measure out my bag to check!

[@Mr.ReanuKeeves]

@@DesmondCheng Ohh thank you so much! Yes, it is about 25cm L, 15cm W, and 12cm H.

[@DesmondCheng]

@@Mr.ReanuKeeves the internal measurements of the camera section of the wandrd is 28cm x 10.75cm x 12.7cm

[@Mr.ReanuKeeves]

@@DesmondCheng Ohh, that's a tight fit. I guess, it's meant more for mirrorless. I'm still interested in getting one, I might try or return it if I don't like. Thank you so much for checking it for me!!

PD vs Bellroy sling for Canon set-up?

[@DesmondCheng]

Can you fit a R6Mll with 24-105 attached vertically into the 6L Peak Design? I have the Wandrd 9L and it’s perfect, but too big for a day trip. I would like a 6L but I’m wondering if it would fit in the Wandrd 6L?

[@DesmondCheng]

unfortunately not vertically. only horizontally

Can you carry a R6 Mkll with 24-105 in the 6L bag? I need to use it for traveling. I prefer Wandrd.

What size is the Peak Design bag? The link you posted is for a 3L bag, but yours seems to be more of a 6L, or a 10L...

[@DesmondCheng]

i mention it in the first 8 seconds! they are both 6L

[@marketguy2]

Great video. I have two PD slings, but I plan to purchase the Wandred. I always carry water and having the hidden water holder and still being able to lash down a coat or umbrella or whatever fills a definite need that the PD doesn't touch. So, thanks a lot for the great video. It's my first Desi Cheng video, but it won't be my last.

[@DesmondCheng]

awesome! stay tuned for more!!!

[@jp.staana]

Nice comparison. Can the wandrd fit an a7iv with smallrig camera cage?

[@DesmondCheng]

unfortunately i dont have a cage to test it with, but yes i think it will fit assuming you DO NOT have a lens attached

[@plutonianenigma8724]

This is the comparison I needed. The Wandrd sling looks the best but Peak Design is sooooo good…. And their warranty is amazing. Tough choice

Does the Wandrd offer any protection for it's laptop/tablet compartment?

[@DesmondCheng]

no not really!

[@monstablocka2784]

I used the Peak Design Sling 3 & 9 L. When filming Video & have the Bag on me, it doesn't stay firmly on my body, which is annoying. Then i bought the Wandrd 3 & 9 L. These corners ensure that it sits firmly on the body + it's more comfortable then the PD. The material could be a bit firmer, but basically the bag is great. I also like the 3 battery holders inside. The 9 L is my main bag, and the 3 L is for accessories. Now I'm looking for the best 6 L Sling, maby I buy the Wandrd, but I'm open for another brand

[@DesmondCheng]

stick to the 6L wandrd =)

[@g37dude]

Hello Desy, in your opinion, do you think you can fit an a7 body and two lenses the same size as the 24-70?

[@DesmondCheng]

no unfortunatley not. You will have to goto a 9L bag to maybe fit that! The bellroy 10L camera sling will fit it probably! review on that coming in a bit!

[@lordgamish9410]

Wandrd!!! This sling is amaaazing don't you see

[@hello.steve.newcomb]

Thanks for the comparison. This made me realise I might need something bigger.

[@DesmondCheng]

[@gurugamer8632]

Which has more comfortable strap ?

[@DesmondCheng]

Peak Design is nice and easy and longer. Wandrd is a bit more cushy and comfy. There is no clear winner unfortunately!

[@reimonandisuwa]

Was looking for wandrd 9L, to replace my PD Sling 10L. But they are sold out everywhere in my country. I opted for the PGYTech OneGo 10L instead. All my complaints about the PD not having 'organization' pockets are solved on the PGYTech. And for smaller sling, i got the Ulanzi PB008. it's like having Bellroy married with Peak Design. I'll still probably get the Wandrd though when they restock. #BagsHoarder hahahaha

[@DesmondCheng]

yup i got the pgytech and the ulanzi as well! great bags!

[@Marden8625]

Thanks for this. Does the wandrd slide easily from back to front? The back padding looks like it might snag or drag.

[@symoore8456]

3L wandrd is perfect.

[@DesmondCheng]

ill have to get one!

[@wakeywarrior]

You can’t go wrong with Peak Design. Lifetime warranty. I had the 3L and got my ZVE1 and 3 lenses in it, just. I did a video. Then I got the 6L as I bought another lens and the new Sony Mic. So I get in mine, ZVE1, 24mm F2.8, 20mm F1.8, 16-35 Zeiss, Tamron 28-75, plus mic, extra batteries etc. That’s a lot in such a small bag. The 6L isn’t that much bigger in dimensions than the 6L. I totally disagree re the capture clip- that’s the best reason for the PD, putting the capture clip on it for immediate access to the camera rather than faffing about going into the bag. The Wandred looks very good. I would really like a Bellingham. Beautiful British craftsmanship on those.

[@DesmondCheng]

yeah love the lifetime warranty!

[@thezeek2745]

[@clubcocotravels]

After extensive research I went with the Peak Design because it fit closer to the body and I wanted my camera bag to take up less space while climbing in and out of the Land Rovers and considering seating space while on Safari. It worked out great, highly recommend. It Also doubled as a sling bag/purse while in the city throughout my travels when I didn’t want to carry my DSLR at night.
